If you tell people you’re not interested in their invitation eventually they’ll stop asking (good bc you don’t want to do it)
But the fear is that they’ll stop inviting you to stuff or liking you entirely (bad, so you keep agreeing to do stuff you don’t want to)

this is why i say variations on “not feeling up to it but appreciate the invite, thank you!”

Great option for things you’re likely to be into in the future, less so for things your more certain you’ll never be interested in

hmm in that case i might be like "probably not gonna want to do [this sort of thing], but if you wanted to invite me to [other sort of thing] sometime i'd probably be down!"

That sounds like a great way to do it! let em know its not for you but make it clear you'd like to keep the relationship going, AND point out something you could more enthusiastically agree to. Its like 3 birds one stone 😎
